They have an attraction toward each other but they stay still due to there heavy mass and there speed of high rotation

Is it true that- gravity holds planets in orbit because planets are attracted to each other's gravitational force?

It's true that gravity holds planets in orbit. However, this is due to the gravitational influence of the sun, not the gravitational influence of other planets.


What are is the Sun and the planets attracted to each other by?

Gravity and inertia. The Sun's gravity holds all the planets in orbit with its immense gravity, and the planets have no tendency to change their orbits due to the law of inertia which implies that the planets will stay in their elliptical patterns until a force acts on them to change that status.


What from the sun holds the planets in orbit?

The Sun AND its planets attract each other with gravitic force.


Why don't planets attract each other?

because gravity and inertia are kinda of playing a game of tug a war but both sides are equal so they do not move


What keeps the planets from being attracted toward the Sun?

i Don't kno w it also? They are attracted to the sun. It is called gravity


Why don't planets bump into each other?

because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.


Why do planets revolve around d sun in a particular orbit?

The planets revolve attracted by the gravitational force of primarily the sun and to a lesser degree the gravitational attraction of other planets. The reason for the orbit is thought to relate to the rotation of the primeval gas could which gave berth to the sun and the planets.


How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?

The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.


What keeps the planets and sun from hitting each other?

gravitational forces


How is the sun and it's planets are attracted?

The sun and its planets are attracted to each other through gravitational forces. Gravity is the force of attraction between any two objects with mass. The sun's immense mass creates a gravitational pull that keeps the planets in their orbits, causing them to revolve around the sun.


Why does each planet have different facts?

planets have diffrent facts of other planets because of there size and distance from sun


How does the sun hold the planets in orbit?

The Sun's gravity is trying to pull the planets towards it. But the planets have their own velocities and all the Sun's gravitational attraction is needed to stop the planets moving away from the Sun. The result is that the planets orbit the Sun.
